Knowing that my husband + I get easily overwhelmed during high stress situations I knew we needed someone to help take some of those wedding day stressors off of us...Any questions or recommendations we needed Chelsea had the answer! If there was any bump in the road during the actual day of our wedding I had no idea about it + Chelsea took care of it without having to get me involved. At one point my husband apologized to her for having to run her all over the property for items she reassured him telling him that's exactly why we hired her. If I could do our wedding all over again, I'd 100% hire Chelsea in a heartbeat. We can't thank or recommend her enough!

"...an absolute god send!"

Love Notes

Chelsea with Home Town Events did an exceptional job in planning + coordinating my wedding. She helped with every aspect. Chelsea made sure the timeline was perfect + that the dj, caterer, photographer + every one else involved knew what was planned. We felt completely as ease on the day of our wedding thanks to her. I truly would recommend hiring her for any event, it is a guarantee that your day will be seamless + everyone will have a fantastic time.

"...your day will be seamless!"

I was immediately impressed with Chelsea the first time I worked with her! Her organization, attention to detail and communication is second to none. She has an easy going, down to earth personality that makes working with her a joy! Please, do yourself a favor and book Home Town Events for your special day! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

"Easy going, down to earth personality...!"

Simply Fun Facts:

I became a wedding planner because someone has to lint roll the pine needles off the table, chill the champagne + get grandma to her seat before the grand entrance.

I love details, and I know they matter big time.

Do you too?

I love to serve. 

Why I DO WHAT I DO

Make sure to discern who is responsible for cleanup at the end of the event. This should not be a guest! Need someone?! ask me! 

04

Make sure the easel you bought can actually withhold the weight of the sign. Bonus: Windy day? secure that sign so it doesn't blow away!

03

Alert local officials and/or police of potential for increased traffic. Check town zoning laws for sound ordinance compliance! 

02

Public events serving alcohol need a permit. Who is responsible for applying + obtaining this? (TiP: I can help!)
